rear trapezoidal arm

[Joan Kotjarapoglus <jkot+@pitt.edu>]

I have a 87 5000cs quattro and have told by my mechanic that there is some
play in the one bushing.  Sure enought, I am begining to have the rear
tire tire show some out of alingement wear.  Since the car has 166k and is
still in great condition, I will attend to this problem shortly.  My
thought is to attend to all other bushing which commonly go bad at this
vintage while we are down there. It seems like there are 3 bushing on the
arm.  There also seem to be a couple more at the ball joint for the
transverse link.  I am getting a sweeking sound from the rear.  I am
interested in any words of wisdom.  Is there anyone who sells a complete
rear setup with new bushing installed with a core charge.   George K.
